This Iowa Restaurant Hidden Inside A Historic Barn Is A Must-Do

A dairy barn built in 1925 now serves homemade quiche, soup, and pie instead of housing cows. I love that sentence more than I probably should. The place started as a one-woman operation in 2003. Today it employs about 20 people and still bakes from scratch. Some of the eggs...

13 Iowa Bakeries And Pie Shops Worth Visiting Before Thanksgiving Arrives

Is it really Thanksgiving planning if nobody has asked who’s bringing the pie yet? That question always seems to come up just when my holiday to-do list is getting crowded. I enjoy a homemade dessert, but I’m perfectly happy to let a skilled baker handle the crust. Fortunately, Iowa has plenty of bakeries that can make Thanksgiving preparations a little easier.

Cafe Allez cancels plans for European-style cafe in Cedar Rapids

CEDAR RAPIDS — A popular pop-up bakery has discontinued its plans to open a cafe along First Avenue. Cafe Allez’s long-term plan, first announced in 2023 , was canceled in a Nov. 4 announcement. “Our lives and families look a lot different today than they did back in 2023 when we started this project, and the timing and financing just isn’t right for us to start a new business today,” the owners said in a social media post. “We’re just so thankful we had the opportunity to make and serve good real food for you all, our friends and neighbors.” The plan for a bakery and espresso bar inspired by the Tour de France and European travels was originally announced for 1271 First Ave. SE. Co-owners Emily and Curtis Stochl, who dreamed up the vision, hoped to open the cafe across from Coe College, where the couple met about 15 years ago. The building, which they purchased and started renovating along with adjacent 111 13th St. SE, was previously home to Brewed Awakenings for eight years before briefly becoming Tee’s Liberian Dish in 2021. The Stochls, both Coe College alumni, met and married on campus during their time there as

Tuscany Grill closes Mediterranean restaurant in Cedar Rapids

CEDAR RAPIDS — A Mediterranean grill has closed less than two years after it opened. Tuscany Grill, opened June 2025 at 475 Northland Ave. NE, closed suddenly in early November with signs posted to its door. It was owner Juan Morelo’s first venture in the dining scene. After 21 years of working restaurants in Iowa and the Chicago metro, he opened with a menu of kebabs, salads, pasta and sandwiches. His business filled the brief vacancy left by Edison Pub & Eatery, whose owners retired after running that restaurant for about six years. Morelo helped design the Edison menu as it opened. “The personality of a restaurant is very important. The (menu) they had was very different — pasta, prime rib, sandwiches,” he told The Gazette in 2025. He hoped Tuscany could shift the paradigm to something lighter. With a two-page menu, it offered a Mediterranean focus with a hospitable Midwestern ethos — bacon-wrapped dates, hummus, Tabbouleh with couscous and unique meat seasonings. A reason for the restaurant’s abrupt closure has not been articulated.
